  • Patent number: 7053148
    Abstract: Fiber materials in the form of fabrics receive, as a result of treatment with compositions according to the invention, a pleasant soft hand and excellent oil-and water-repelling properties with good permanence. The compositions can be obtained by a) preparing a solution of a polysiloxane and an extender with blocked isocyanate groups in an organic solvent, b) dispersing this solution in water, c) removing the organic solvent and d) combining the aqueous dispersion obtained with a second aqueous dispersion which comprises a polymer with perfluoroalkyl groups. One variant of this preparation process consists in cousing a polymer with perfluoroalkyl groups as early as in step a). In this case, step d) can be omitted.

  • Patent number: 7051572
    Abstract: Gaseous or volatile substances which are either themselves odor-active or components of odor-active mixtures of substances are applied to fabrics. The amount of these substances adsorbed by the textiles is then determined. It is then determined what amount of these substances is desorbed again by the textiles upon storage. Comparison of the results which are obtained on textiles which had been finished beforehand with textile auxiliaries with the results of non-finished textiles enables statements to be made regarding odor-inhibiting properties of textile auxiliaries.
